The very sudden and unexpected death of
Mrs, 0. S. Smiley, which occurred at her
home Yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, WAS a
surprise to every one. She was taken
slightly i'll few days since bnt her physician
though she would be out in few days, and
felt no snxety in regard to her. She asked
her husband to do little errand for her over
the river, and before his return her spirit had
passed into the heavenly land. For the past
'lr weeks she had watched by the bedside
OF Mr.. Smiley who had suffered severely
with pneumonia, and who has just recovered
sufficiently to ride out. One who has been
me recipient of her kindnesses can truly say
mat she was noted for her amiability, faith
'ulness to every obligation, and tenderness

sweet and winning voice, and had a facility

amounted at times almost to inspiration.

NORTHWESTERN HOSPITAL.
An Interesting Meeting of the Board
of Directors.

An adjourned meeting of the Northwest
ern Hospital association was held at the
residence of Mrs. d. Morrison, to close up
the affairs of the building committee. Mrs.
Morrison, chairman of the committee. re-
ported the building practically COM
pleted and ready for occupancy. but
owing to the severity of the
weather it was deemed best not to move in
before the first of April. A committee was
appointed to proceed with the furnishing OF
the new building at once. The ice house
will be flled within few weeks. Twenty
thousand dollars insurance has been
placed on the building, $4,000 of
which was donated. A circular
letter. setting forth the scope and objects of
the association. together with a cut of the
new hospital. will be sent out in connection
with the annual report. which will be ready
for distribution in few days. DR.. Emily
Fifield was elected resident physician of the
hospital, and will enter upon her duties as
soon as the new building is occupied. The
affairs Of the association are in excellent
shape. and the ladies have no doubt that
sufficient funds for the furnishing will be at
once forthcoming. ''f
After adjournment Mrs. Morrison served
an elegant luncheon to the ladies' so that a
profitable meeting was very pleasantly ter
minated.

SPECIAL AsSEssmENrs.
A Decision Effecting an Important
Question of Law,

Judge Lochren filed a decision yesterday
in the matter of the suit of the state against
c. j. BartleSon, to compel him to pay a
sidewalk assessment, in which he found
that the defenseS and objections of Mr..
BartleSon could not be sustained, and d.
rected judgment against the land for the
amount of taxes and penalties charged
against it. In his decision he says: 1.-THE
city council ordered the construction of
stone sidewalk along the street in front of
the lot in question, as provided by law. = =
But two objections are made to the validity
of this special assessment by the defendant.
!. That no notice of the assessment or i'll
formation as to when it would be made was
given to the lot owner. nor any opportunity
to be heard respecting the validity or regu-
larity Of the proceedings or the propriety
or amount of the assessment. 2. That the
the special assessment and charter provisions
respecting the same are void because of the
provision that no special assessment shall
be questioned or held to be in
valid because the amount of such
special assessment shall happen to be
either more or less than the amount of
money actually required for the improve
ment for which the assessment shall be
made. :" There is no force or
merit in the last objection. Nearly all the

A IsONG DENIAL
That Street Car Drivers Abuse Their
Horses From hoice

A delegate from the Street Car Drivers
assembly called at the GLOBE office yester-
day to request denial of the statement to
the effect that the drivers on the Cedar ave-
nue. line have been in the habit of cruelty
beating their horses so as to make the trip in
less than regular time in order to gain time
to spend in saloon. The delegate SAYS
substantially:
Itwould be almost impossible for the drivers
10 run ahead of time. They are not allowed
to be behind time by the company. you can
be assured of that. The drivers are allowed
an hour and twelve minutes to make the
round trip. or thirty-six minutes each way.
In South Minneapolis cars coming and going
are required to meet at Eighth avenue and at
the corner Of Franklin avenue. They are also
required TO be ahead of the Riverside cars at
the line and South Minneapolis at which the
cars must arrive on time. The crivers are
sometimes delayed by trains or other causes
and must make up time. In order to do this
they must use the whips, and the company
requires that they shall buy a certain kind
that is, seven feet in length. If u car is de-
layed the driver has no alternative than to
whip his horses. We have forty-three rules
TO obey, and the one upon which the most
stress is laid is IN regard to being on time.
As to the saloon part OF the story-it is not
true, and any one can see that the drivers
cannot waste much time there or anywhere
else.
The information leading TO the publica-
ton of the item complained of came from
a reputable citizen of South Minneapolis.
who asserts that he has been obliged to in
tercede to prevent the horses being brutally
used and has seen drivers in saloons often.

DAUGHTERS IN DANGER.
An Alleged Attempt TO Procure the
HUN of TWO Girls

* uin of Two Girls.
Wednesday morning a Mrs Leroy ap-
piled at police headquarters for aid to re-
cover her daughter, fourteen Years old.
whom she had not seen since Monday, but
supposed was at a house of ill-fame kept
by Lou Felter, at 253 First street south.
Mrs. Leroy was accompanied by Mrs.
Goodman, who stated that her daughter had
also been decoyed to the same house. but
had returned home. Officer Grace. who
was detailed to the case. found the Leroy
girl at the house of Mrs. Dillon. sister
of Lou Felter, on Eighth avenue south, in
the rear of Osbourne'S machine shop. The
child said that she had remained at Felter's
place over Tuesday night and had then gone
away. She had wanted to go
home. but the woman had refused
TO give up her clothes, and
she was forced to remain. She also claimed
that Mrs. Dillon had attempted to induce
her to occupy a bed with her husband. The
presence of Rose Goodman. the other girl,
was procured, and from her was secured a
story of an attempt to sacrifice her virtue to
satisfy the passion of treacher.
Gus scOundrel. She is 16 years
old and became acquainted with
Mrs. Dillon, who took her to Felter's house,
where she was asked to adopt a life of
shame. That evening Felter took her in a
hack to the European hotel On First avenue
south, where room was secured. The
woman told the hackman to go after doe"
This individual proved to be we'll
dressed, elderly man with gray
mustache, who made indecent proposals
and offers of money for submission to his
wishes. The girl, however. managed to es-
cape from the room. and, getting to the
street, induced the hickman to drive her
home. This occurred Dec. 1, she claims.
Upon the strength Of her assertions a war
rant was sworn out for Mrs. Dillon, charg-
ing her with attempting to in
duce the girl to lead a life OF
prostitution. She was arrested yester-
day, but denies that she has been instrn-
mental in accomplishing the girls ruin,
who. she says, although young has already
become experienced in the ways of wicked
ness. She further claims that the Leroy
child came to her home, and that
she took her out of kind
ness, as she had no place to go.
Both girls claim that they have not been
ruined, but their mothers. poor but respect
aole women, who live i'll an alley-way near

prosecuted. An investigation will be made
